The Best Car Smoke Odor Removal Specialists in Brewster

Utilizing the proper methods to reduce and eliminate smoke odor

Smoke odor is one of the more difficult odors to remove from your interior. The nicotine and tobacco can trap itself inside the cloth fibers across your entire interior (in areas you can’t even see).

The two biggest factors to how much odor we can remove will come down to 1) how long it’s been smoked in and 2) how much it was smoked in.

The longer (and more intense) smoking that’s took place in the interior, the harder and longer it will take us reduce the odor to a satisfactory level. Unfortunately if it’s a severe condition of years of heavy smoking, our chances of removing 100% are extremely low.

At that point, we can definitely reduce the smoke odor, but to get rid of the smoke odor entirely, it would require you to replace some of the fabric material like the headliner, carpeting, and floor mats.

 

Intensive Interior Cleaning and Odor Removal Process

For any level of smoke odor, it will not be a quick 4-hour job like you’d find with our Full Interior Cleaning service. We require the vehicle to be stationary for a minimum of two days so we ensure the process is done correctly.

The goal of the service is to not mask the smoke odor with a fragrance or perfume. It’s to remove, reduce and eliminate the layer of nicotine and tobacco that’s left behind from smoking across your interior. This is the only way to ensure long term results. Once we deliver the car to you, we want to make sure the odor isn’t coming back. 

Fortunately, we have tackled some pretty heavy smoke odor vehicles over the last years and we’re completely confident in our process. We can setup a time and date to meet, we can inspect the interior and discuss the type of options we can produce for you. 

There’s not many places in Brewster that specialize in proper smoke odor removal. Simply shampooing or steaming the interior is not enough to greatly reduce or eliminate the odor.

If you just have a lingering odor because the interior hasn’t been cleaned in a while, perhaps our Full Interior Cleaning service is a better fit for your needs.

It is absolutely necessary you replace your cabin air filter with a new one. If you keep the old one in, even after we do the entire odor removal process, once you turn on your AC, all the trapped smoke odor in the filter will circulate right back into the interior.

Although it’s only a six-step process, it can take between 10 to 15 hours to completely finish the service. A majority of the time comes down to waiting for the Ozone treatment to be finish and air out so we can inspect it. 

The Smoke Odor Removal Process

1️⃣ All Surfaces Are Vacuumed
Every surface, like the headliner, under the seats, carpeting, floor mats, will be thoroughly vacuumed

2️⃣ Clean All Plastic & Leather Surfaces
Using a specific smoke odor cleaner, all the plastics, leather, and rubber surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned (even the hard to reach areas)

3️⃣ Extract All Fabric Surfaces
Using our hot water extractor and a tobacco specific cleaner, the seats, carpet, floor mats, seat belts, and if possible, headliner will be shampooed

4️⃣ Clean All Windows & Mirrors
Every interior window and mirror will be cleaned to remove smoke residue and leave a streak-free appearance

5️⃣ Completely Dry Interior
Before we can continue, the interior must be 100% dry. We’ll place 3 to 6 air movers across the interior to speed up the drying. Based on the condition, this vary greatly in time.

6️⃣ Ozone Treatment
With our commercial grade Ozone machine, we’ll run the treatment for 2 to 5 hours depending on the condition and repeat as needed until we’re satisfied with the results.

It’s absolutely necessary we replace your cabin air filter with a new one. If you keep the old one in, even after we do the entire odor removal process, once you turn on your AC, all the trapped smoke odor in the filter will circulate right back into the interior.

Notice: Due to the nature of the service, we require the vehicle not to be used for at least 2 full days.

 Smoke Odor Removal FAQs

  • When needed, based on the condition of the interior, we will remove seats. However, for many of the smoke odor removal jobs we’ve worked on, removing seats is not necessary. We have a variety of machines and brushes to get into the tight areas. 

  • It really depends on the condition of the interior and the severity of the smoke odor. Our goal is always to remove as much as we can, and if possible, eliminate it altogether. If we do our entire smoke odor process and the odor comes back a few days or weeks later, at no extra charge, we’ll do another Ozone treatment.

  • All smoke odor jobs will be done at vehicle location. Due to the extensiveness of the cleaning, we provide this service at the customers home location. The heat, rain, humidity, and debris that gets in the way while being outdoors makes it difficult to do the job properly.

    On top of that, the job can take 10+ hours to complete. For the best results, we require your vehicle to be in a climate controlled at least two days. This also applies for our paint correction.

  • For odor removal, we use very specific products and equipment to neutralize, reduce, and eliminate smoke odor. This is not just using a generic degreaser or steam cleaner to clean the fabric surfaces. Each step we perform has a purpose to achieve our end goal.

  • You will not! This is one of the reasons why we require you to leave your vehicle in a climate controlled area for two days. We expedite that process by placing multiple air-movers across the interior.

  • Due to the nature of stains and the material it’s on, some will come off better than others. We have extensive knowledge, experience, and use premium tools, products, and machines, but even with all that, if a stain has been there long enough, it can only be cleaned so much.
